Since he opened the doors at Benilde for the first time in 1956. he influenced many distinguished men. This is the man who began the task of making Benilde what it is today. In memory of his great influence. Benilde has dedicated the Athletic Field in his name, and his picture holds a place of honor in the main corridor. However, a school cannot remain dreaming of past days. Under the leadership of Brother Patrick and Brother Justin. Benilde has risen to the highest spire of excellence. During the past nine years. Benilde has grown from its infancy into a highly-ranking college prep school. Progressive direction is the reason for Benilde's outstanding Student Council. Under Brother Patrick the guidance department has increased its facilities and its personnel.

Enrichment courses have been added to aid the student attain a higher degree of knowledge. Sharing the convictions of these men are Brother Amedy and the other forty-one members of the faculty.
